How to Make a Family Tree Painting

If you want to learn how to make a family tree painting, here are some steps to take. First, draw out the tree's branches. You'll need two outwardly bowed lines at least 12 inches apart. Next, draw the trunk and write over the names with a stiff nib. If you're using a pen, you can choose between sumi ink or Ziller Soot Black ink. Using waterproof ink will allow you to use watercolors.

To decorate the tree, you can use cloth pins or felt pieces, or even pictures and names. To add some extra decoration, you can use glue. You can then begin to paint the tree. Start by laying down a canvas and picking a color for the trunk. Once the trunk is dry, add the other parts of the tree and decorate. Once you're done, hang the finished product to display your family history.

For wall art, you can use a family tree template, such as a lotus flower. This flower is symbolic of birth and regeneration, and can be made from many different types of lotus petals. Find a variety of these on the internet and label them after your family members. You can also print out your family's tree and place it on a wall. Afterwards, you'll need to choose a place to display your finished painting.
